Maybe London is the cheapest one. Portugal is probably more or less the same (we have direct flights from Newark and Philly, at least). And you can get very cheap flights (low cost carriers) from Lisbon to Madrid, Barcelona, London, Paris, Milan, etc.
cool

very cheap flights in Europe



This is fantastic news, and I think I have time to go to the one in London. By the way, Wembley Stadium, holy shit! When does it open, and how many will it take? The demand for the solo shows must be incredible if they think they can fill Wembley. I have exams on the 22nd and the 24th, and only a paper to write after that, so I think I can manage this. I wish the request period laster a little longer though.

And damn, I wish I could've hit up Ireland. Haven't been there, and have a friend there. The venue takes 8000 people, and I think its gonna be an awesome show.

edit: I just looked it up. Wembley will take 75 000 people for concerts :shock:

Damn this is insane. I cant miss out. Either Dublin or London for me. Id prefer Dublin as i would have no idea where i was going in Lonon. Depends on a few things though. I better find out quic. They shouldnt sell out that quick though should they?

Paul, if i go to London, how easy it it to get to Webley arena and are there many places to stay close to the venue? How close is it to railway station?

Thanks

both cioties are very easy to find your way around. the tube is sop easy I cant imagine npot being abl eto find everything. I think Dublin would be fun cause you might get a different mix of fans, but then again, i am sure it is going to be the same 10k fans going to all of the shows.

Uhm, can anyone bother to explain to me what "will call" means? I've been looking at the WH page, but i dont really get why Gold leaves the impression that will call is a bad thing for him.

thanks.

Ok, thanks for that. I don't understand how this is a problem for Gold though - he could pickup the tickets just before the show, right? this is pretty standard in Denmark, and has been for years - you just go a few hours before and pick up the tickets.

Please correct me if im wrong, and sorry if i seem like a complete idiot.
